RESUMEN
Medical education has evolved over time toward a model which integrates clinical medicine with the basic sciences. More recently, medical education has put an emphasis on outcome-based education. Other areas of health care education have had a similar emphasis which can provide models to inform a new model for medical education. The Roseman University of Health Sciences has developed and implemented a model based on underlying tenets of mastery learning since 1999. The model has been implemented in pharmacy, nursing, and dental education. It was conceived as an integration of 6 key points which reinforce each other and interrelate to support learning. The model has been modified for application to medical education in support of medical education's outcome-based emphasis and to address the educational demands of the changing environment of the practice of medicine.

The use of a fixed dosage schedule was compared with the use of activated clotting time (ACT) for determining heparin and protamine dosages during and after cardiopulmonary bypass disease. Use of the ACT resulted in a statistically significant increase in heparin dosage and a statistically significant reduction of postoperative blood loss. With ACT use, chest tubes were retained for a shorter period of time, and the incidence of serious postoperative hemorrhage was reduced from 44% to 18%. These results confirm the superiority of the ACT method for monitoring intraoperative anticoagulation in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease.
